[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grades don't matter in middle school. That includes "high school classes"[/quote] Then why even have grades? The point is, we do have grades and middle school is laying the foundation for high school. Kids are learning to take accountability and be proactive - emailing their teacher if they need to. They are also learning to use the retake policy. If their grade is below a 90, they have every right to request a retake. They see that retakes can raise their quarter grade. This is a good prectice for when they get to high school and it does count. My child saw their grade raised back to an A after a low B on a test in a different class. My child learned that it’s an easy way to get your grade back up if you put in the work to do a retake. My child wants all As and I think that’s a good thing.[/quote]
